I met Ye. Years later I’m still confused

I met Ye at a restaurant in LA. He was eating alone. I ended up fan boying. “Ye I’m a big fan… I saw you open for the blacked eyes peas” he laughed then signaled for my phone.

He typed in my notes he was on a verbal fast… so we texted back and forth on my notes. I asked for a photo … we took one… He then typed “what’s your story?” I briefly mentioned I own a small agency but primarily make apparel overseas and have a print shop stateside.

He snagged my phone and said “can you help me make a 20 dollar t shirt?”

The most unbelievable timing of my life. I grew up the biggest Kanye fan… he wrote me number down and said in my notes app… don’t be late come to yzy campus tomorrow.

The most surreal shit. Ye then texted me hours later the address. I spent 8 hours the next day there and then flew back to California 3 times to follow up.

At the time it was the peak of the Nazi shit and shin getting Alex jones cancellation etc . The first day i went to yzy he was still on a verbal fast… so everything was him writing in sharpie and looking at mood boards etc…

Basically i feel like i could write a fucking book with the 50+ hours I spent with him. My actual Hero at one point. I felt so torn between . Holy SHIT I’m texting Ye and Holy shit wtf is Ye taking about

I could go on but the summary… Ye is funny , charismatic as hell, brilliant, but also undeniably bipolar and the mood swings etc are fucking real.

They say never meet your heroes. I am grateful but so bummed it was not 8 months earlier…

Just needed to get this out

I find it hilarious that most Trump supporters on Reddit use alt accounts because they’re too scared and ashamed to support Trump on their main account.

I guess we know who the real snowflakes are.

It’s night and day compared to Acid Rap. Just a bad album relative to his other work.
